Nashville, Tennessee (CNN) -- One-third of Americans have a favorable view of the Tea Party movement, but a plurality has no opinion at all, according to a new national poll.

A CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey indicates that 26 percent of the public has an unfavorable view of the Tea Party movement and that 4 in 10 have not heard of the movement or don't know enough to form an opinion. The poll's Friday-morning release comes as what's billed as the first national Tea Party convention begins its first full day of meetings in Nashville.

Poll: Tea Party movement fails to make any impression on 4 out of 10 - CNN.com

Given that, it seems rather strange that they get all of the attention they do from those that don't like or even fear them.

Some of it's downright vitrolic.

Too many slow news days, I guess.

When a vast majority of Americans view them as irrelevant and many see them as a dangerous, is it a wonder?

Well, I just hope their genuine message, whatever it may be, gets to see daylight. Let them stand on merits alone, not hype or FOX astroturf trying to redefine the republican party at behest of Rupert Murdoch. I'm disappointed, but hoping they ditch the propagandists.

according to who, CNN? Ted Turner and his hack media personnel over at the world's #1 White Guilt network aren't fooling anyone.

The Tea Party movement is one faction of democracy in action.

Will someone on the left tell me another faction of democracy in action that rivals that of the Tea Party movement?

You can't do it because there's not one. And there's especially not one on the left.

This story is nothing but a Massive Spin Job from the media to make the lemmings on the left believe that the Tea Party is nothing but a flacid group of nothingness.

Green Party.

Ans yeah, I was laughing at that too. FOX news was the only station to even make it seem like it was more than what it really was.

Even the Green Party doesn't have the forcefulness or the effect of the Tea Party.

It is an act of democracy though, isn't it?
